Best text editor for HTML, CSS, and Java Script

I recently completed the Sololearn course on Game Development which uses HTML, CSS, and Java Script in tandem to create a game. Python was the first course I completed with Sololearn and before I learned how to use Code Playground, I found and downloaded Pycharm so I could practice the Sololearn projects and Coach challenges. So, now I am trying to find a text editor or code editor (not sure of the proper terminology) to use outside of Sololearn to practice what I learned in Game Development to create my own games. I have tried following along with some Youtube videos but end up quitting because when I try to use the editors they are using I find they aren't an integrated program (or at least I am not sure how to integrated them) that lets you use HTML, CSS, and Java Script like the program in Sololearn does. So, my question is "Does anyone know of a good program I can download that integrates HTML, CSS, and Java Script in a similar seemless fashion like the one used in Sololearn?" Also, should I use an IDE (kind of know what that is) or a non IDE editor? From what I have read about IDE's is they sound very helpful especially for a Noob like me, but I have read other dialog that says not to use IDE's. Confused I am.

I think you don't need IDE if you just code in HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Instead, you can use multipurposes code editors such as Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text (If you'r Mac), or Vim (If you prefer to work in terminal). If you want to integrate them to the languages you mentioned above you can install the appropriate plugins (or extensions for Visual Studio Code).

I will recommend using visual studio. It's easy to use. You can also install the live server extension from the VS market. Just type on youtube how to install live server in visual studio. With live server you can easily see your work in html, css, js

Thanks to all. Yeah, after watching some more "Best" of Youtube videos, I too downloaded Visual Studio Code. I have not used it as I feel I need to watch a video on how to use and set up. Again, thanks for thw resposes. Most helpful!
